Area Attractions: 

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy! 

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.

Great Location!
This is our 3rd stay at Crystal Villas and our first time in A3. Overall we were pretty happy with this unit. It has the best stocked kitchen of any we have stayed in. It’s also more updated than some of the other units. The ground floor made trips to and from the beach very convenient. The listing and our management portal said there was beach service included but there was not even though it was a very warm week. There was construction going on next door and they were cutting tiles on the porch 3 of the days which was super annoying for sitting on the porch. This unit did have a couple roaches I would see near the kitchen sink each morning so make sure your food is in sealed containers. Overall though we would consider this until again.

Excellent ground floor location with the best view!
Smaller unit, which we love- less crowds! Only 1 row of chairs!! Normally a ground floor unit doesn’t have a good view, but this view was the best of anywhere we’ve stayed. We will definitely be back!

Beach Front Crystal Villas
This condo was absolutely perfect for my little family of four. The location of the property was amazing. It was literally just a few steps out the back/front door to reach the beach or the pool (and the view was phenomenal from the back door). Although we didn’t cook much here, it does seem to be pretty stocked with all your essential items. Property management was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great location beautiful place
This place was very clean and had everything that we as a family of 5 needed. The pool was nice and the beach was amazing. We had a great stay. Two bathrooms were perfect with the best views. Stepped right out and had the beach. Spent lots of time on the porch. I can’t think of anything to complain about because it was great. Would love to rent here again.

Very disappointed. Not worth $345. a night!
Reverse logic & poor labeling on building. We tried for nearly an hour to enter the wrong room. A VRBO Facebook ad that read “ the price you see is all inclusive” when it was not. No iron Ice maker didn’t work Hot water wasn’t very hot Tub partially clogged & had sand in it entire time No placard for beach chairs Lost WiFi one night Excessive noise overhead two out of four days.

Perfect location and very nice inside condo
This condo is in the perfect location, amazing access to the beach and newly remodeled. The inside of the condo was done extremely well and very nice. Only reason I gave the overall score 4 stars was because there was a group outside the condo the last night at the pool until 12:30 at night partying and being extremely loud. The pool is right outside the front door…a pretty bad argument broke out with other residents and those people. Also Sunday morning at 8:00 am before check out someone punched the door code in and opened the door to the condo. By the time I could get to the door they were gone. But the condo cleanliness, amenities, decor, location, beach access, etc couldn’t have been better. We were a family with 3 young children so being on the first floor with easy access to the beach was amazing.
